More than 16 tons of unneeded prescription drugs were disposed of during Ohio's drug take-back day on Saturday.

"It was very successful," said Mark McHugh, group supervisor for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency's tactical diversion squad in Columbus. "The public and law enforcement worked together to make the streets safer by getting rid of dangerous prescription drugs."
